Why Bet The Mavericks:
✅ The Suns are a better team than the Mavericks, but the Suns could not win a game in Dallas last postseason. That trend will continue in this contest.
✅ This year’s home/road records also favor the Mavs in this game. Phoenix is just 4-5 away from home on the year, while the Mavs are an impressive 9-3 in their own building.
✅ It is worth remembering that the Suns are dealing with some injury issues coming into this game as well. Chris Paul’s status is up in the air, and Cam Johnson is out, making them a weaker version of the team that lost in seven to the Mavs in the playoffs.

Phoenix Suns
Coming into Monday night’s action, the Phoenix Suns have the best record in the Western Conference at 16-7. They have done the majority of their damage at home on the year, as they have gone 12-2 there compared to just 4-5 on the road. Here, the Suns face another big road test against a Mavericks team that eliminated them in the second round of the playoffs a season ago.
For the Suns, the offensive workload is going to be primarily handled by Devin Booker as it has been for most of Chris Paul’s absence due to injury. But the question in this game is whether the Suns can limit the Mavericks from the perimeter. We have seen the Mavs really have their way with the Suns from the outside in recent meetings between these teams, and the Suns cannot afford to let that happen again.
Dallas Mavericks
The Dallas Mavericks got an encouraging win on Saturday afternoon against the New York Knicks on the road. Dallas trailed that game by double digits in the first half, but blew the Knicks away in the third quarter to seal a victory. Here, the Mavericks return home, where they have been an elite team and will aim to get another win over the Phoenix Suns.
It is worth noting that Christian Wood is questionable for this game for the Mavericks due to an illness. He was very effective from a scoring perspective in the first regular season meeting between these teams. His status is worth keeping an eye on for bettors as this game draws closer.
